Necromancer Of The Shadows

"Who's there?" Suddenly Evan and Malrak heard a threatening voice and saw two S rank orcs coming in their direction.

Malark's body stiffened when he saw the imposing looks on the orcs' faces meanwhile Evan smirked inwardly and a nervous look appeared on his face.

"You two have been standing here for a long time. What are you two planning to do?" One of the S rank Orcs asked in a commanding voice after stopping a short distance away from Evan and Malark.

Evan adjusted his expressions when he heard the orc and replied in a nervous voice.

"Sir, we have come here to tell you about something we saw a few hours ago while gathering some herbs outside of the city."

The eyes of both of the S rank orcs flashed when they heard Evan and they looked at each other.

'Did he come across a valuable thing while gathering the herbs and want to sell us information about it' Both of the orcs thought at the same time.

"What did you see?" One of the S rank orcs asked in an eager voice.

"This- we saw..." Evan hesitated a little and started stuttering.

"Hurry up and tell us before I throw you into the soul chamber and extract your soul to get the information I want," The orc said in a threatening tone and locked down his aura on Evan.

Evan showed a terrified expression when he heard the orc and his face turned deathly pale.

"We... While we were gathering herbs outside of the city we saw Sir Grunk fighting against a human. The fight was very intense but In the end, that human killed Sir Grunk." Evan paused a little after saying this and spoke in a scared voice after a moment.

"We were hiding behind a rock and thought we were safe, but after killing Sir Grunk that human caught us as if he was aware of our presence since the beginning. We thought that man would kill, but after catching us, instead of killing us he ordered us to come here and deliver a message to the higher authorities of the Warlord Gang."

The eyes of both of the orcs widened in shock upon hearing Evan.

Even Malark looked at Evan with a look that was asking 'What the fu*k you are talking about?'

"You are saying Master Grunk is dead?" The S rank orc asked in a shocked voice once his mind finally registered Evan's words.

Evan didn't say anything and just nodded his head in a scared manner.

Both of the S rank orcs looked at each other with shock evident on their faces and started discussing using telepathy skill.

"I think he is telling the truth," One of the S rank Orcs said after a moment. "Earlier I heard that Master Grunk was ambushed by a human and he chased that human to catch him but he still hasn't come back yet."

'Hey, what the hell you are trying to do?' While the orcs were discussing among themselves, Malark asked Evan.

Hearing Malrak, Evan just signalled him to stay quiet.

'Damn it, I should have escaped from here when I had the chance' Malark cursed inwardly and gulped down his saliva seeing the serious look on the faces of the two orcs.

"You said that human asked you to deliver a message, right?" One of the orcs asked after a moment to which Evan nodded his head.

"Come with us. We need to report this to our superiors," The S rank orcs said and without giving Evan and Malark any chance, they started to drag them inside the castle.

Evan showed a nervous expression when the orcs started to drag him inside, but when Malrak looked at Evan's face, he felt a chill running down.

'Why do I feel like these orcs are digging their own graves by bringing this terrorist inside their castle.'

Five minutes later, Evan and Malrak were standing in a crude looking stone room.

'Why do I feel that they are treating us like prisoners and have brought us here to interrogate us' Malark thought when the orcs left after bringing them into a stone room.

A few minutes later, Evan and Malark heard the sound of heavy footsteps coming in their direction.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the stone door of the room opened and a three meters tall, brown coloured orc entered the room.

A heavy pressure filled the room and it became difficult for Malrak to breathe. Evan didn't feel much pressure but he also acted like Malrak and started to grasp for breath.

The Rank One Orc who entered the room looked at Evan and Malrak with cold eyes and continued to press down his aura on them.

After a few seconds, when the orc felt Evan and Malark were about to pass out, he finally stopped pressing down his aura on them.

"I will only ask once," The orc said in a threatening tone after withdrawing his aura. "Is everything you told earlier true? If you dare lie to me I will kill both of you instantly."

"We-we are telling the truth," Evan said in a horror filled voice. "After he killed Sir Grunk, he really told us to come here and deliver the message that tonight at 9 o'clock he and his team members will attack the Castle of Warlord Gang."

Hearing Evan, the orc looked at Evan and Malark's faces for a few seconds and closed his eyes.

"I see," The orc said after a moment and turned around to leave.

"Um...sir," Seeing the orc was leaving, Evan spoke in a hesitant voice.

"What?" The orc asked in a cold voice.

"Can we...can we go now?"

A scary smile appeared on the orc's face when he heard Evan and he said in a calm voice.

"I will let you go once I confirm that you are telling the truth."

Malark's body stiffened when he heard the orc and he asked in a stuttering tone.

"And ho-how are you going to confirm it?"

The orc opened the stone door of the room and took a step outside.

"We just have to wait for the night. Did not you say they are going to attack us? If they attack us, it means that you are telling the truth, but if they don't attack us..." The orc glanced at them and showed all of his sharp teeth.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the orc closed the door and left from there.

Malark looked at Evan and saw he was looking at the door with a dazed look on his face.

Seeing the dazed look on Evan's face, Malark gulped down his saliva.

"You have a plan, right?" He asked in a hopeful voice.

Hearing Malark, Evan looked at him and showed a thumbs up with the same dazed look on his face.

When Malrak saw Evan's dazed thumbs-up, he nodded his head and tears began to flow from his eyes.

'Yup, we are definitely fu*ked.'
